OMG! After seeing MisLEAD, I got serious goosebumps listening to the Moms. The moms hit my heart; the men hit my logical brain. You captured me again - heart and soul. I am so blessed to have you and your passion in my life.

Thank you so much Tamara Rubin for the lead test kits you sent me a while back! I owe you big time!! Tonight we went through my grandmothers costume jewelry and found a ton that tested positive for lead. E wanted several pieces and since they were crystal I decided to test.
